Chapter 582: Battle Report on the First Day

The result of this calculation is completely based on the specific strength of the other two parties, simply put, it is based on Cao Cao's strength, if Sun Quan wants to get a piece of the pie, Liu He's troops will be less, so that Sun Quan and Cao Cao will consume each other, if Sun Quan is just waiting and seeing, and wants to finally rely on the side with a good chance of winning, then Liu He will invest more troops in order to win Sun Quan over.

Now it has been learned that Cao Cao invested thirty-two jades, and Sun Quan is twenty-four, the difference is eight, and then multiplied by two is sixteen.

This number did not exceed the number of jade in Liu He's hand, and after putting the jade into the copper tripod, Liu He immediately walked out of the room with Fajie.

Since there are not a few jade stones left in his hand, and there are only a few good places in Yizhou, Liu He does not need to be entangled in the trade-offs at all, and the delay is not long, so although Cao Cao and Sun Quan have already sat back in their positions, there should be no doubts.

The three bronze tripods containing jade were personally kept by the head of the Zhao family during the duration of the battle.

After recording the amount of jade in the bronze tripod and the names of places engraved on it, the jade will be handed over to the military generals of the three parties and taken to the battlefield.

The battle lasted for three days, and the generals of each side with eight jade stones of the Ming City had to enter the battlefield immediately at the beginning of the battle.

As for when the remaining troops will enter the battlefield, it is entirely up to the three parties to decide, and even if they still do not enter the battlefield at the end of the battle, there will be no punishment.

It's just that in that case, the eight Ming Cities that must be invested in it as bargaining chips can be said to be ironclad and unkept.

The above regulations, coupled with the previous rules that the jade is not to be made public, are the result of joint discussions between the strategists of the three parties.

These rules have made the battle situation very uncertain, and the reason for this is still due to those world-famous strategists.

The reason is very simple, if this battle becomes a situation where the three sides are in a position to hedge against each other, then these great strategists who have read a lot of military books will be useless.

In order to restore the real scene of the war, the venue of the battle was also set within a radius of 20 miles, including mountains, plains, rivers and other various terrains.

In order to ensure that no one could leave the scope of the battle during the duration of the battle, in the previous three months, the head of the Zhao family had collected almost all the labor in the Twenty-four Ming City, and used a high wall to enclose the area within a radius of twenty miles.

Due to the short construction period, many places were only made of wood, and every other mile, the head of the Zhao family also ordered people to build a lookout tower on a high wall to prevent anyone from leaving the battle range.

Although this kind of behavior also has the meaning of wasting people and money, compared with the unrestrained melee between the three parties before, the price of this high wall is already very small.

Everything is ready, and the first tripartite battle is about to start.

Under the gaze of the three parties, the head of the Zhao family stepped onto the high platform and personally sounded the gong representing the beginning of the battle.

As a gong sounded through the valley, the first soldiers of the three parties quickly entered through the entrance under the viewing platform and entered the battlefield.

But at the moment when the soldiers of the three parties entered the battlefield, Cao Cao suddenly stood up, walked off the viewing platform, and without even saying hello, he got into the carriage and returned to his camp.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan also stood up, nodded slightly to Liu He, and then also took the young Amon and left the viewing platform.

When Cao Cao left, Liu He was still a little puzzled, and when Sun Quan also left, Liu He had already understood the thoughts of the two.

The battle lasted for three days, and the scope of the battle was so large, and only a few thousand people participated in it.

Within a radius of twenty miles, these thousands of people may not even be able to meet each other, and since the battle has just begun, the three parties will definitely adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

And the most important point is that although the name here is called a viewing platform, in fact, there is not even a figure to be seen, and the soldiers who rushed into the battlefield before have long disappeared at this time, presumably they should have gone to find a hidden place to hide.

Liu He smiled faintly, but he didn't get up in a hurry, sat on the viewing platform with a lot of trouble, looked at the scenery for a while, and rubbed a pot of good tea from the head of the Zhao family by the way.

It wasn't until the Zhao family told him with a face that he didn't care about the meal, that Liu He got into the carriage with a smile and went back to the camp.

Early the next morning, the three bigwigs gathered again on the viewing platform.

It's not because they are looking forward to the next day's battle, it's just that according to the rules of the battle, every morning, a scout will give a statement about the previous day's battle.

Of course, these scouts are also from the forces of the three parties, so the information brought back by the scouts of each side is also different, and they can only be reported according to the military information they have, as for the situation of the other two sides, because the battlefield is too large and the soldiers of each side are very scattered, they are also powerless to find out the information.

Unlike yesterday's attitude of getting up and returning to the camp at the beginning of the battle, neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan left immediately today.

After each of them listened to their scout's report, the three of them returned to their seats almost at the same time, picked up the cup of tea in their hands and drank it almost at the same time.

Don't look at the three people's movements are the same, but the expressions on their faces are very different.

As the party with the most chips in his hand, Cao Cao looked worried.

And Sun Quan seems to be absent-minded, and it is not difficult to see from the details that he should be thinking about something repeatedly in his heart.

Only Liu He looked the most relaxed, leaning on the seat on all fours, without any posture at all, and from time to time he had to be happy, and the two bigwigs around him looked at it and were obviously a little uncomfortable.

The battle report on the first day was gratifying for Liu He.

According to the previous plan, as soon as the war started, Liu He threw all the sixteen men and horses into the battlefield, and as soon as possible, he looked for the enemy to start a war.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan obviously didn't expect Liu He to adopt this kind of play regardless of the random fight, and they suffered a dumb loss as soon as they came up.

In just one day, Cao Cao had been robbed of four jade stones by Liu He, including a place like Wancheng that was a battleground for soldiers.

Although Sun Quan's loss was smaller than Cao Cao's, he also lost two pieces of jade in his hand, which was because Liu He wanted to form an alliance with him, and his subordinates showed mercy, otherwise the loss would have been even greater.
